Are we looking at the same thing? Look at how poor and shady those sculpts are! And how about if you're taking up the line, give us SOME NEW FREAKIN' FIGURES. We've already had Doc Ock, we've already had Green Goblin, and Rhino; come up with new figure ideas.

we've already had a couple of lizards, too... but this one looks different, as does the rhino figure.

like i said, the doc ock looks like butt, but the movie goblin figure looks pretty good, and i didn't get one the first time around. i'll probably pick it up. i'm not saying i'm in love with them, but they're not horrible, and i'm holding out hope for future collections being better. i was totally unimpressed with the first line of marvel legends, and thought they'd never last - but they upped the ante and made some great product, thus maintaining the line.

And I saw these on the spawn boards today: spidey 3 figures on the e-bay! no sandman, just spidey, symbiote spidey and venom. Hard to say at this point, but they look pretty much like the other movie figure spideys. Venom is alright at best, but i'll have to see these things in person before i can make any calls on them.

there's a sandman figure on the card back.

i've heard the movie figures are actually going to be 5" instead of 6" like the spider-man 2 figs. they might have reduced the molds or something, but i'd imagine that since they didn't change much about the way the costume looks (save for the darker colors at certain points...) that it would stand to reason that they look similar to the previous movie's figures.

strange that the venom on the card back has a big white spider on it...

Do they really think we won't notice the giant step backwards in quality here? Kraven the Hunter has v-crotch articulation and no knees at all! Everything Hasbro does with this license gets worse and worse!

... I actually thought you were going to end that sentence with "and I honestly can't see."

To be fair, I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with the sculpts as seen in those pictures, but Marvel Legends for me has always been about the articulation. If they take away that they have nothing, in my opinion. I'm just not a big enough Marvel fan to stay on board, and Hasbro may as well not even bother.

Not that I want to defend Hasbro's Marvel entries at all as I think they're heavily sub-standard, but you could never judge the Marvel Legends line on the Spider-Man Classics line because the SMC line is for kids and always has less articulation and action gimmicks, it was true with Toy Biz and it's true with Hasbro, 1 does not indicate the other's direction.

I was going to suggest the figures in those pictures looked like a smaller scale toy, the joints seem a little out of scale and the packaging looks too big for the 6" size figures. My guess is these are the same size as the Superman Returns figures. Multi-spinning webs Spidey does look like a retread of a SM2 figure though

That Venom figure seems to have a silver spider on his chest, my guess is Hasbro's cardback photo is of the non-movie Venom figure, the knees look different and there's no detail work anywhere.

I really dislike that movie packaging.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Saw the new Icons (Thor, Wolverine) figures at Target. You guys (if you bought any Episode III 12" figures) will recognize the new packaging. I'm not into them. Thor has some good points really, but again, the paint is loose and too simplistic... even for this line.

Oh... my kid's been playing Ultimate Alliance a lot lately, and he says that he likes/wants the Ultimate Iron Man (ML) figure, so I suppose Hasbro nailed it for one person. (I've told him "no" BTW. )

I'm ordering a set of wave 2 ML just to save myself the hassle of hunting and i'm wondering if anybody wants She-Hulk, Yellow Jacket or Thor? I know some might be building the Blob and stuff. Let me know.
